Ask them and yourself

If Aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them? – I dislike these type questions from the daily prompt.

Okay, I’ll play along.

  • What’s with the big heads?
  • How many galaxies per gallon does that thing get?
  • Why did you decide to land on the armpit of the universe?
  • You think that thing is fun, let me take you for a ride in my Miata.
  • Well, you landed in Maryland, let me teach you how to eat crabs from the Chesapeake Bay. Also, you’re going to need special driving lessons for this state.

But seriously, maybe there are some questions that we should ask ourselves each day.

  • Did I touch base with family and friends and tell them I love them.
  • Did I improve others day.
  • Did I respect my environment.
  • Did I learn something.
  • Did I share something I know or a skill.
  • Did I smile and say kind things.
  • Did I accomplish something.
  • Did I have fun.
  • Did I do things people will remember me fondly for.
